Posted: 7th June 2010 by Jim Reed in NFL
It’s been several months for everyone to digest the fact that Donovan McNabb was dealt to the Washington Redskins after a very successful career in Philly, but was it the right decision? McNabb has been a consistent piece of the Eagles offence since 1999 that has thrived with any supporting cast.

Busted: ESPN Caught In The Act of Libeling Former Raider JaMarcus Russell

Posted: 7th June 2010 by David Xaviel is the Real Mr. X in NFL
At this point, Raider Nation can breathe some fresh air, because the climate in Oakland seems to be on the upswing now that JaMarcus Russell is gone.  Nevertheless, the negative opinions of Russell do not justify false information from being propagated. Even though Raider Nation may disagree on the broad topics related to JaMarcus Russell, I think we can all agree that ESPN will make stuff up about the Raiders.  In ...
"Mister Irrelevant" Created by former NFL and Southern California receiver Paul Salata in 1976, the Mister Irrelevant award has become synonymous with the NFL draft. The actual trophy (also called The Lowsman) depicts a football player fumbling a football and goes to the final player selected in the last round of the NFL draft. Aside from receiving the trophy the last pick is also flown out to California where he is ...

Chicago Bears: The All-Time ôFlopö Team

Posted: 7th June 2010 by Bryan Dietzler in NFL
The Bears are one of the oldest teams in the league, and after being around so long, they tend to have quite a few players that have played with them and haven’t played up to their billing.  Some of the players that they had have suffered injuries and have never been able to regain the same form that attracted the Bears to them in the first place.  Others just came into ...

One More Move for Huff Could Mean a Great Defense for the Raiders

Posted: 5th June 2010 by Carl Cockerham in NFL
Michael Huff has been largely criticized for his play since arriving in Oakland in 2006. Many have looked at his stat sheet and have even called him a bust as a number seven pick. I don't see it that way. If you want to go from a standpoint of statistical production vs. place in the draft then you can say so. However, he is a good football player and has tried his best to do what ...
In all my experience conversing with long-time, die-hard Chicago Bears' fans, none of them have spoken a single word regarding a quarterback being brought up by the Bears into the professional level properly and slowly. While the Chicago Bears, established in 1919 but moved to the Windy City in 1921, have had a rich tradition of loyal, ride-or-die players, never has there been a quarterback prospect become slowly engaged with the system ...

Fantasy Power Rankings: Maurice Jones-Drew

Posted: 4th June 2010 by Derek Courtney in NFL
Maurice Jones-Drew was as advertised last season, in almost all formats he was a top three fantasy back. He set career highs in many categories, including carries (312) yards (1,392) and rushing TDs (15). While his receiving stats didn't improve like his rushing stats, they were still pretty solid. Jones-Drew caught the second most passes of his career (53), but he had his lowest receiving yards total of his career (374) and just one ...
After a disappointing end to a promising 5-0 start last year, and an epic collapse in the final month of the 2008 season, the Giants recognized that changes needed to be made. One of which lead to the release of former Giants’ linebacker Antonio Pierce. Although Pierce may have exited the New York spotlight, that didn’t stop him from grabbing some of its headlines this off-season when he publicly stated both player ...

Is He Serious: Jerry Jones Downplaying Interest in O.J. Atogwe

Posted: 3rd June 2010 by Jonathan Lopez in NFL
Jerry Jones was asked Wednesday about his interest in former Rams safety OJ Atogwe. The Rams and Atogwe couldn't reach an agreement on the 11:59 pm deadline Tuesday.  Jones had this to say about the interest in Atogwe, "I'm ready to go into our season with the safeties we have," Jones said. "That might answer your question." The problem is that it doesn't answer the question at all.  Just because you're ready to go ...
